UNDERWEAR.
Among the attractive common-sense
luxuries in underwear are night dresses
CIT both in loose sacQue and Mother
Hubbard style made of sheerest yelling
fabrics and also OF American Washing
sursh. Those made of the silk have not
the least garLiture upon them, except o
very narrow lace edging upon the silk
frills about the neck and sleeve-bsnds.
They are simply hemmed, and fasten
with pearl buttons. II is claimed by
those who have worn the gowns of veil
ing that they are warmer in winter and
cooler in summer than fine muslin. These
night dresses are edged on neck and
wrists sDd down one side of the front
With pretty, narrow pattern in wool
lace, or with q slightly gathered frill OF
Torchon lace OF rest quality. Upon
some of the more elaborate gowns are set
bands of the goods, embroidered in white
silk briar-sttchn., or else herring
boned in japanese floss. The gowns
wash excellent'y when made of the best
proved by sll physicians.

by bride was made Wholly of lace of the
most beautiful and web like quslity, sim
ply ped over trained slip of white
SILK muslin. The skirts beneath were
made of the same material, and the airy,
cloud like gown was even more beautiful
than If, as is usual, the lsce had yelled q
slip of silk or satin. The fleet of the
bridal dress entire was greatly enhanced
by superb set OF diamonds worn bv the
bride, consisting Of necklace, hair orna-
ments and hoop bracelets.
THE DIANA" CoIFFURE.
The latest styles of dressing the hair
are much less exaggerated than at any
one time they threatened to become.
High structures of puffs and curls and
aigrettes have been replaced by much
simpler ana less elevated modes of ar
rangement, though ia the same style.
The "Dians" couture, formed by bring
ing the back hair forward and turning it
over to form a single roll at the top of the
mead, is new and very graceful.
